Great trail! Nice views and an easy walk, but be careful! The .6 - .7 marker length of the trail is flooded and the trail they diverted around now also leads to a wetland.. just confusing. Took an extra 45 minutes to get back and Had to maneuver the flooded section of the trail, but after that it was easy. Just keep it in mind

Great hike! Easy to get lost, make sure you have orange on during hunting season. You will walk into a gun club area about 400 acres of hunting grounds. Bring a second car as well, unless you want to hike 20 miles! Oh bring snacks you’ll get hungry!

We went out with our 8 and 6 year olds and they loved the trails, however I was frustrated by the lack of markers. There was about an inch of lingering snow from the most recent storm, so the paths were difficult to find.

The parking is very confusing. There are no parking signs at the entrance and the other parking area down the road was blocked off. I talked to some locals there and they said it was fine to park at the entrance and that the sign was only to discourage people. Hmm...

Also, there is a requirement to wear fluorescent orange due to the area being welcome to hunters. Lots of folks out there in bright orange carrying rifles and I didn’t feel safe running around without any bright colors on.

My humans and I did this hike today. What an absolutely beautiful fall day! We started at the trail head on plain Road at the Tillinghast wild management area. The trail is well marked with yellow blazes. The cemetery is about 10 to 15 minutes in on the right-hand side. You need to look for the rock wall foundation and there are several tombstones over to the far right corner. Some date back to the early 1800s. If you are on the trail and you proceed to turn left following the yellow blazes you have missed the cemetery. We took the trail to the end following the north loop and then proceeded onto the Tillinghast Pond loop trail. This trail is marked with white blazes. This trail proceeds to loop all the way around the pond bringing us back to the parking lot. The entire loop was about 4.6 miles. I would rate this trail as easy with the exception of the fact that it is moderately long. This would be a great trail in the winter as there is very little rocks or lose footing. Please make sure you wear your orange vest and hat. This is a hunting area. Canines, please make sure your humans put a vest on you and keep you on leash! It’s for everyone’s safety. Get out there and enjoy! The scenery is diverse and very enjoyable!

The dirt road is long and very steep with some good size dips in it. Highly recommend taking a Jeep or at least an suv or truck down here unless you park at the top and walk down! Beautiful waterfall!!! Mandatory orange vest or colored shirt. We unfortunately didn’t get to walk the trails today since we didn’t have that color on but did sit by the water which was flowing beautifully this morning.

An amazing place to hike during all seasons. A bit let down today however, the waterfall was bone dry. The trails were gorgeous as always. Completely kid friendly also. We had five children with us, ages 9 to 13.
